All this term the theme for JC4Kidz has been hands. So for Valentines weekend it was all about Loving Hands. Each of the children were challenged to describe what LOVE is - it's not all about the romantic love we celebrate on St Valentine's day. Things got really messy as we made a heart of hands to use as a backdrop to short video messages of love. Of course this meant hands covered in paint in various shades of pink or red.

Sunday 17th August The Watering Hole went kayaking. We learnt the important skills necessary for staying safe on the water. This included capsizing and exiting the kayak; several methods of rescue and re-entering the kayak. We had a lot of fun, got very wet and thanks to Rob's excellent teaching we learned a lot of useful skills. Meanwhile those on the shore enjoyed the sometimes hilarious entertainment provided by the kayakers.
